New Experiences for July 2005

[Hippychickali]

I am making a list of all the things that will be new in July 2005 when my fiance and I go on our honeymoon. So far I have:

Soarin' Over California (Epcot)
Expedition Everest (AK)
Stitch's Great Escape (MK); and
the car/movie stunt show thing (MGM)

Has anyone heard of any other new attractions/events that will be at WDW by the time we visit?

Expedition Everest does not open until at least 2006.

Given that all of the attractions you mention have been under development / construction for nearly a year now, I doubt there will be much added to the slate in 9 months' time.

There is a new stage show planned for the area in front of Cindarella's Castle. Performances should begin by May '05.

Other than that, other changes throughout the park are likely to be rather small scale.

Yes. I realize that Expedition Everest is wishful thinking but I know for a fact that Stitch's Great Escape will be opened and that's new for us. Don't you think the stunt show at MGM and Soarin' Over California will be open by then?

Oh, I didn't mean to imply that. I think there's a fairly good chance that Soarin' and/or Lights, Motors, Action! will be open by July. Soarin' is almost a given. My guess is that it will be open by May to tie-in with the Disneyland 50th Anniversary.

Lights, Motors, Action! is perhaps a LITTLE more questionable. I was originally lead to believe that it was due to open closer to the Fall, but more recently it seems like May keeps circulating as a potential date as well.

What I meant to say in my post was that I wouldn't count on anything substantial beyond these attractions. Having four legitimate "E" Ticket attractions under construction at one time (plus the virtual rebuilding of It's A Small World) is pretty unheard of, at least as far back as my 'Disney' memory stretches. While it's possible they could make changes to one of the nighttime shows or live stage shows, I don't see any way that they would announce and construct any sort of attraction in the next 9-10 months.

Well I think that those three attractions plus IASW will be substantial enough for us. I haven't been there since 1991 so there's plenty new to keep me happy. I was just wondering if there was anything I was missing. Thanks for your help.
